Albert Suarez RP | BAL
Orioles' Albert Suarez: Blanks Atlanta
Suarez (3-0) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing four hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out four.
Suarez continues to impress as a starter in Baltimore -- he's made four straight starts, allowing just three runs over 19.1 innings. The 34-year-old Suarez, who last pitched in 2017 prior to this season, now has a 1.61 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and 37:14 K:BB across 44.2 innings. Suarez figures to stick in the rotation until Dean Kremer (triceps) is able to return. He's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Yankees in his next start.

Brock Stewart RP | LAD
Twins' Brock Stewart: Playing catch
Stewart (shoulder) has been playing catch from 90 feet and is scheduled to throw from 120 feet Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander landed on the injured list with shoulder tendinitis in early May and received a PRP injection a couple weeks later, but his recovery progress over the past month has been slow. Stewart will need to resume mound work before a rehab assignment is considered, and he's likely at least a couple weeks away from rejoining the Twins.

Dominic Leone RP | CHW
White Sox's Dominic Leone: Moves to 60-day IL
The White Sox transferred Leone (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
Leone was deactivated in late May due to right elbow inflammation, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures he'll be sidelined through the All-Star break. As a result of the transaction, Leone will move off the 40-man roster and open up a spot for right-hander Drew Thorpe, whose contract was selected from Double-A Birmingham ahead of his first MLB start Tuesday in Seattle.

Sammy Peralta RP | MIL
White Sox's Sammy Peralta: Optioned to Triple-A
The White Sox optioned Peralta to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
Just two days after being selected from Charlotte and giving up a run in one-third of an inning during his season debut, Peralta will now head back to the minors. He'll keep his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster, though a 7.16 ERA through 16.1 innings at Triple-A doesn't bode well for a return to the big leagues anytime soon.

Jhonathan Diaz RP | SEA
Mariners' Jhonathan Diaz: Called up to start Tuesday
The Mariners recalled Diaz from Triple-A Tacoma, and he'll start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander will start in place of Bryan Woo, who was scratched Tuesday for unspecified reasons. It will be Diaz's first MLB appearance of the campaign, but he's enjoyed a strong year at Tacoma with a 2.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 67:16 K:BB across 66.1 innings. The lack of walks is a notable improvement from 2023, as Diaz had a 4.4 BB/9 at Triple-A and walked seven over seven frames in the big leagues.

Eduard Bazardo RP | SEA
Mariners' Eduard Bazardo: Back in majors
The Mariners recalled Bazardo from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Bazardo owns a 5.87 ERA through 7.2 innings in the majors this season, though he has given up just one run in five innings since returning to Triple-A on May 26. He'll now rejoin the Mariners' bullpen to replace Matt Bowman, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Sam Bachman RP | LAA
Angels' Sam Bachman: Set for start in Double-A
Bachman (shoulder) will move his rehab assignment to Double-A Rocket City on Thursday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Bachman allowed an earned run on three hits across three innings while recording two strikeouts in his most recent rehab outing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Saturday. The righty will now head to Double-A as he gets stretched back out following offseason shoulder surgery.

Alex Faedo SP | TB
Tigers' Alex Faedo: Progressing in rehab
Faedo (hip) played catch Tuesday and will ramp up his throwing volume throughout the week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Faedo was placed on the 15-day IL Wednesday with right hip inflammation and has resumed a throwing program. While it's unclear if he'll require a minor-league rehab stint, Faedo seems to be on track to return in late June.

Danny Coulombe RP | TEX
Orioles' Danny Coulombe: Heads to IL with elbow inflammation
The Orioles placed Coulombe on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation.
Coulombe had given no indication that something might be wrong, having turned in five straight scoreless appearances. It's not clear how long he might be out, but his absence will be felt in the Orioles' bullpen, where he's posted a 2.42 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB over 26 innings.
